Nick Fury?

The title of this episode seems to be a reference to the Nick Fury and His Howling Commandos comic. Should this be mentioned? MasterGrazzt 17:52, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It does refer to Nick Fury and the Howling Commandos, but according to the commentary, the WW2 scenes were more references to Sgt. Rock and Easy Company. 11:42, August 19, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.161.235.12 (talk) 15:45:35, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

I would also like to add that Joe Kubert's Sgt. Rock and Will Eisner's the Spirit (particularly the dark shadows and rain scenes) seemed to be influences in this episode, according to the commentary. - Comic Book Guy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.161.235.12 (talk) 01:06, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deaths of the Hellfish

When in the Simpsons was it revealed that one of the hellfish died from a hernia and five others in a parade float accident? Is this from a scene cut in syndication or something? 151.203.178.253 23:33, 7 July 2006 (UTC)John S.[reply]

ni it says it in the shown episode —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.158.233.66 (talk) 16:55, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, no it doesn't. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 03:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it did when I saw it (on Swedish (or was it Norwegian?) TV). Perhaps you saw a shortened version? 81.233.196.49 (talk) 10:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All the banging on about Armin Tamzarian

Is any of this necessary? Judge Snyder conferred Seymour Skinner's entire life onto Tanzarian ("past, present, future and mother"); presumably this reasonably applies to his background too. Anything else is at best cruft, and at worst original research. Kinitawowi 17:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the Tanzarian mentioning is restricted to the one episode where his[Skinners] identity is questioned. Therefore I'm taking the line out of the page.--Plankton5005 05:10, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the information that the producers intended for the episode's ending to reset continuity should be worked in, as the information for Armin Tanzarian is silly to this episode. When the episode was written, Skinner was Skinner.

(In the DVD commentary for "The Principal and the Pauper", the producers stated they intended for the episode's ending to reset the continuity to before Skinner was revealed to be Tamzarian. As such, they said, fans could dismiss the discontinuities created by the notion that Skinner is actually an impostor and consider the episode on its own terms, divorced from the rest of the series.) from Seymour's profile.

Just a thought!

Iggy Wiggum

In the episode Pranksta Rap, Chief Wiggum says he'll go back to Baltimore and sell ribbons with his father, who is declared dead in this episode (as part of the tentime). How do I inform the world of this important mistake? User: Wikiman, 19.23, 26 September 2006.

The question is, how are you going to inform poor Clancy his dad's dead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.204.139 (talk) 00:32, 14 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Commander Flanders

It is not likely to have been his father, as it is shown in the next season in Hurricane Neddy that he was a beatnik.

Not exactly... Ned's father could have become a beatnik after the war. Unless being part of the Beat Generation meant not having any part in the US Military and Government, past or present? --- Nick15 00:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The article says it was likely either of Ned's grandfathers who was the commander; probably not either of them since his maternal grandfather likely had a surname other than Flanders, yes no? Also, I agree with Nick15's reasoning above. I say we strike that whole section about "Commander Flanders."

Don't forget that Flanders himself is old enough to have been in WWII (well not quite, but close) so that could very easily be his grandpa, or his uncle, or some other Flanders...

but regarding the prior section and Iggy Wiggum, let's not forget that Grandpa's memory ain't what it oughtta be. He's likely remembering Skinner looking like our "Skinner" and he could quite easily be wrong about exactly what relation that Wiggum was :) that's a much easier hand-wave.. old men have shoddy memories. Also Strong Bads do.

This is all original research and synthesis and has no place in the encyclopedia. Nothing can go into a Wikipedia article until it has already been published by a relaible 3rd-party source that is unconnected with the subject of the article. That means it has to have been written about by a media studies textbook, a book about television history, or a book about The Simpsons. Cheers. L0b0t (talk) 14:24, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Asa Phelps

I thought Asa was mentioned in Three Men and a Comic Book as Mrs. Lick's brother, but it was another Asa from World War I. 99.150.6.160 (talk) 19:04, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
